Mrs Mathis getting shirts. She said they just threw a dude out for repeatedly cutting in line. He got warned and did it again. Staff threw his ass out of the building.

Met up with Digging Tunnels and Echoes 97 at Dirt Bar.

Good dudes and good times .

It's Digging Tunnels first Rush show and man oh man did he pick a good one.

Normally, I would assume that certified Rush freak New World Ag is in the first 10 rows.

I ran into him on the floor at The Summit in 1996 on the TFE tour.

Of the 3 Texas cities, this was my fav! Awesome set list, they sounded fantastic and had so much energy. Definitely were enjoying themselves! And I took it all in since this was probably last time I'll see them (unless Sphere rumours are true!). Great night!!

Pleasure to meet you man! Yes it was my first Rush show and all I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! That setlist was amazing! Can't believe they played side A of 2112 and all of Moving Pictures. Would have loved to hear New World Man, Fly By Night, and By-Tor but I ain't complaining

Hope everyone made it home ok. Driving 290 and 6 was sketchy and that's being kind. Wrecks everywhere. One truck had spun around spring cypress on the elevated part and was literally pointing the wrong way and broken in the road. We watched someone hydroplane and spin around at Badtke. And just after turning north on 6 someone had rolled it. They were backwards and on their side with all kinds of fire trucks. You couldnt see any lane markers so everyone was just making a lane randomly.

Yes 290 was a **** show and you're right - the lanes disappeared. Saw the same truck wreck you saw.

First show in 1996 was at the Summit. They came back in 1997 to The Woodlands.

Had free suite tickets. Was a nice change of pace after having 4th, 2nd and 1st row seats for the 2 Mexico City shows and the 2nd SA performance. Got to experience the full production and be seated the entire time.

Yall have better pics than I do! We were in the back section of the floor and had a great evening. This might be the best concert week of Kiddoc's life with his two favorite bands touring in Texas within days of one another. Rush is also our son's favorite band so he came down from CS as well (he drove through the sh*tshow to get back last night at almost 1 AM).

Kiddoc and our son are true "deep cut" fans so they really appreciated 2112 being part of the set. I went to the drink line for that and when I got back, Geddy announced that the Houston audience was getting all of MP (out of order, of course!) but I was thrilled to hear that even though Limelight was probably his worst vocal of the set. It made me realize why Fly By Night was not included. I was surprised Closer to the Heart was part of it.

My best friend thought we were getting A Farewell To Kings when Geddy said they were going way back to something they recorded outdoors in Wales.

Closer to the Heart is good but yeah, another deep cut would be good too.

I really wanted Natural Science.

I thought the same thing....he mentioned the same thing about Wales before AFTK in San Antonio.

Yeah it was real clear that Geddy was struggling with the upper end notes in the San Antonio show I watched last night. Not a surprise he didn't want to try Fly by Night. Makes me wonder if his earlier bout of laryngitis made him not want to push as hard for those notes anymore.

TFE was at the Woodlands

In 1997 yes, I was there.
I was also at the 1996 shows in The Summit and Reunion Arena.
It was a long tour.

I'm actually glad you mentioned this.

My drive down I-45 was pretty crazy too.

There were the standard randoms doing 30 mph above the flow of traffic in a Hyundai or a Kia along with the occasional Ram pickup going way too fast.

I was exhausted so wasn't driving my best and then after a refresh stop at Bucees in Texas City, I came over an overpass in La Marque and somebody was at a complete stop in the left lane trying to change a flat tire. I went back to offer them some road flares but they had finished the repair by then.

Changing a tire in the left lane with no shoulder on the blind downslope of an overpass is a good way to get killed.

EDIT: Forgot about the homeless dude running across the street in downtown Houston that I damn near hit after the car in front of me swerved. It was definitely a risky drive home after the show.

Had a blast. Perfect set list as far as I'm concerned.

First, FW. Then, last night. Hollywood is next. And, just before the show last night, my wife let me know she's got us tickets for April in Basel, Switzerland. (Gotta get in some watch shopping, too.).

The driving stories made me glad we stayed the night in walking distance of the center and drove home in the morning.

My only complaint is nothing from Clockworks. I know most of the old fans like the old stuff and eskew the "new" music but I really love the Clockwork stuff.

Still a very memorable week and show!
